Re: [ql-developers] 10BaseT Ethernet on the Q40/And of course a stupid question :-)

[Peter Graf]

Hi Phoebus,

In 10 minutes I'll be the proud owner of a Q40 (Yipeeeee!!! :-)

Finally you have made it :-) Congratulations!

which begs the question.... anyone knows of a 10BaseT
Ethernet ISA adapter that works with it? I don't want to get a
10Base2 one and then have to find a Twisted Pair converter
for the coaxial.....

Basically, most jumperable NE2000 compatible ISA Cards should do. For example the Longshine LCS-8634PTB. Beware a few newer LCS-8634PTB have a hardware bug and create IRQ10/11 signals, even if configured to IRQ5 so these lines mut be cut.

Some non-jumperable card can also be configured in a non-volatile manner by running a configuration software on a DOS box.

Set IO base to 0x300 and IRQ to 5.

If you want to be on the safe side, get a card from D&D Systems :-)

Also, does anybody have info on how the QXL talks to the ISA
bus?

SH and TT I guess.

It would be interesting (to say the least) to put the QXL
there and use it together with the Q40 ;-))))

You could use the QXL to provide the good old QL network :-)

All the best
Peter
